If you ...I have been taught to write what you know. If you know about making wine, then write about it. If you&#39;re a construction worker, then write about it. Life&#39;s experiences help in so many ways. I&#39;ve been through so much in my time that it helps with dialogue and coming up with actions that i think no one else has thought of. Good article by the way or blog. Whatever you want to call it.chad Volmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808782225288612651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806100212232104500.post-78419777526787552052014-03-13T13:39:52.514-04:002014-03-13T13:39:52.514-04:00I think the eavesdropping cannot be underestimated...I think the eavesdropping cannot be underestimated.

Ha, thankfully it seemed like a lot, or at least enough to convince me. This is something I&#39;ve always been hesitant to pour too much time into for my stories, but also something I should be doing. Call me lazy. ejlongbloghttp://ejlongblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806100212232104500.post-61100447767211865922014-03-05T20:10:12.010-05:002014-03-05T20:10:12.010-05:00You&#39;re not the only one who enjoys researching...You&#39;re not the only one who enjoys researching-- yesterday I went down a tangential rabbit hole about what women in Ancient Greece wore. I&#39;m not sure how this will help me with my writing, but I&#39;m sure I can figure something out. Other than Digital Literature Review, Butler also has an undergraduate research conference that you might be interested in checking out. :D E. M.

Knowing that you have done your best to give the audience your best writing is more rewarding than any monetary value that you can get from it (or maybe it&#39;s because I haven&#39;t made any money or writing before, but who knows).andywelkhttp://andywelk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806100212232104500.post-32914870520241226442014-03-04T20:51:22.272-05:002014-03-04T20:51:22.272-05:00Yes, the DLR might be up your alley!

For instance, you might enjoy reading about le petomane or about psychomanteums (which kind of relates to your Victorian theme). Also, if you&#39;re still in the mood to write a research paper by the time scheduling for next year comes along, you might consider joining the Digital Literature Review.
